APEX 2100 HELIX Track Ring HELIX Track Ring Intuitive track ring design combined with gear-driven, spring-loaded system enables the tractor to drive over debris while maintaining a consistent weld. The track ring and shoe extensions can be used on multiple pipe sizes. Track Ring industrial construction of the rings support the weld head Track Gear eliminates slip or tractor jump Spring-loaded Shoe adjusts for work surface heat expansion 8 The Lincoln Electric Company
Track Gear FEATURES Industrial Grade Construction: Heavy-duty ring construction provides a durable and stable work environment to support the weld head and tractor. Rugged construction ensures durability and ring life performance. Intuitive Track Ring Design: Gear-driven system provides stable and consistent travel of the tractor to eliminate gear slip. Mounted shoes contain spring loaded cushions rated up to 800 lbs. to allow for work surface heat expansion to eliminate binding and ring distortion. Spring-loaded travel mechanism drives over debris in the gear system to reduce jamming and jerking of the weld head. Join the two halves of the track ring for assembly/ disassembly around the pipe or other work material. Orbital Welding Solutions 9
APEX 2100 HELIX T55 Weld Head HELIX T55 Weld Head Designed to be lightweight and durable, the HELIX T55 is portable and easy to install, operate and service. Its low-profile design allows the HELIX T55 to weld in confined spaces. The weld head provides consistent weld speed throughout the welding process and has superior wire feed set-up. One clamp knob secures the tractor to the track ring allowing for quick one person set up and a clutch release disengages the gear from the track allowing the operator to reposition the tractor anywhere on the work surface in seconds. Main Body and Torch Arm Assembly Front and Rear Wire Arm Adjustable to 5.5 radial clearance from the surface of the pipe Weld head conforms to any profile: flat, light radius and large radius 10 The Lincoln Electric Company
Track to Electrode Minimum Distance 5.03 in. Maximum Distance 10.64 in. 100 Max. Tilt Out 30 Max. Tilt In FEATURES Tractor-to-Track Design: Side handles and light weight construction of the weld head allow for easy mounting to the track ring. One quick clamp knob provides precise and secure weld head alignment to the track ring. Quick release travel clutch is easily disengaged for manual adjustment of the weld head to a new position, while keeping the weld head secure on the track ring. Release of the travel clutch allows for system cables to be unwrapped after a weld is complete. Clearance and Oscillation: Minimum radial clearance from surface pipe is 5.5 inch. Minimum axial clearance is 11.5 inch. 1 inch oscillation stroke, 3.5 inch AVC stroke with extensions and 1.5 inch manual offset additional adjustment. Torch and arc orientation can be adjusted within 180 degrees. Weld head conforms to any profile: flat, tight radius and large radius. Two wire feeders are standard with the HELIX T55. No disassembly is required to feed the wire through the HELIX T55. Orbital Welding Solutions 11
